Trump just made it easier for billionaires to buy elections

John, Trump just signed a Presidential Memorandum targeting ActBlue — Democrats’ biggest grassroots fundraising platform, which powers small-dollar donations. This is awful news, John. And it’s no accident. Trump has been eyeing Democratic fundraising for months, especially as Americans hav…

Trump’s once again doing Putin’s bidding

Did you see this, John? Once again, Trump is lashing out at President Zelenskyy on Truth Social, accusing him of sabotaging Trump’s so-called “peace deal.” Let’s be clear: Zelenskyy won’t sign this deal because it’s not a peace plan. It’s a full-blown endorsement of Putin’s invasion — an a…

Pete Hegseth deliberately leaked classified information.

John, I’ll get straight to the point: Pete Hegseth needs to resign – now. Last month, reports revealed that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth leaked classified intelligence about a military operation in Yemen to a reporter via a Signal group chat. Then, just yesterday, we learned he shared …

I am giving away signed copies of my newest book to the first 250 people who donate $50 or more to Eugene’s campaign today.

We CANNOT abandon Ukraine

John, Yesterday, Trump’s Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, signaled to officials in Paris that he’s ready to abandon Ukraine. He told reporters that "If it is not possible to end the war in Ukraine, we need to move on." This is utterly unacceptable. America does not abandon its allies. We do…

$36.7 million. That’s what we’re up against.

Bad news, John: The official fundraising branch for House Republicans — the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) — just released their latest fundraising numbers, and they’re shocking. They raised over $36.7 million last quarter — one of their biggest fundraising quarters ever…

Trump’s wasting $90 million of taxpayer money to glorify himself

John, Donald Trump has never hidden his authoritarian tendencies, but now he’s putting them on full display. For his birthday, President Trump is planning a military parade to honor himself. He tried this same stunt in 2018, but now, with full control of the government, he just might pull i…

Not the news we wanted to share…

John, This definitely isn't the news we wanted to share today. But as a member of this team, you deserve to know: Last night, we came up short of our April mid-month fundraising goal. It’s not the end of the world, John. Our campaign is still strong. From a strategy perspective, however, co…

We’re pacing behind our fundraising goals

John, Eugene here. I wanted to send you a quick note if you have a minute. Today marks the halfway point towards our April fundraising deadline, and truthfully, we’re behind where we need to be to stay on track. That’s okay. I trust this grassroots team to step up and help us hit our goals …

Carpetbagger alert 🚨

I need to make sure you heard this unbelievable news, John. A failed Republican from New Jersey just told the press he’s planning to run against me here in Virginia’s 7th District. Why? He lost twice in his own state, so now he’s parachuting into our community, hoping MAGA money and Trump’s…

We can’t let this Trump-backed outsider buy our seat

John, Republicans are coming after this seat — hard. One potential opponent has already gone to the press to announce his plans to run against me. And here’s the kicker: after losing two races in New Jersey, he packed his bags, moved to Virginia, and picked our district as his best shot at …

Tariffs are taxes, and working Americans are paying the price

John, This week, Trump’s tariffs went into effect — and we’re already seeing the consequences. The stock market is tanking. 401(k)s are shrinking. And economists are warning of a recession on the horizon. To me, it’s crystal clear: Trump's tariffs are a tax on the American people. He can sp…

First, then, NOW

John, FIRST: Trump and Elon Musk began attacking Eugene from all sides — weaponizing the DOJ to begin a baseless investigation into Eugene and using Twitter to accuse him of treason. Why? All to seek retribution against Eugene for blowing the whistle on Trump over 5 years ago. THEN: The Nat…

[WATCH] My conversation with Rachel Maddow about the weaponization of the Justice Department

John, Earlier this month, Trump’s Justice Department just sent me a letter informing me that I’m under investigation. Let’s be clear: This is a direct threat of retribution from Trump’s handpicked U.S. Attorney. The accusations are absurd, and the letter itself is downright bizarre. But thi…

The Republicans' budget CR is 99 pages of dirty defunding for veterans, law enforcement, the elderly, and the disabled.

John, Earlier this week, Republicans proposed a Continued Resolution (CR), a spending bill to continue funding the government. They claim this is a “clean” bill, but let’s be real. Nothing clean about this CR. It’s dirty. It’s 99 pages of dirty defunding for veterans, law enforcement, the …
